The UK Research Staff Association (UKRSA), in association with Vitae, aims to provide a collective voice for research staff across the UK, through building researcher communities and influencing policy. It is also involved with research staff issues on a national and international level, and encourages research staff to engage with their institutions on issues affecting them at a local level.

In addition to encouraging research staff to engage with their institutions on issues affecting them on a local level, the UK Research Staff Association is also involved with research staff issues on the national and international level.

Each region has a regional RSA representative, and some also have a regional RSA whose aim is to link your local society into the national association. Please contact your regional representative for more information about your regional RSA or to see if your institution has a local RSA.
